We just returned from a few days at “the Bluff” and I must say I got into such a relaxed state of mind that I didn’t want to leave, it was hard to come  back to cold NY. The weather was so wonderful, 70 and clear- doesn’t get better!

Though the bulk of the work is done there, we are still putting finishing touches on things here and there. A few exciting things happened this time. We got our foyer chest, our long awaited end tables and the rest of the blinds installed. Baby steps forward:)

Every time I go,  I see little things I want to do but doing if from afar poses some challenges and it just takes a bit longer. I still want to wallpaper the main powder room, add a chair and ottoman to my bedroom, add a back chest to mudroom/back stair area,  do a family gallery wall of favorite framed family pictures and have pretty much decided on adding a simple flat roman to the kitchen windows.

We finally finished all the blinds-  we did these elegant flat Romans from Hunter Douglas and they were a great fit for the aesthetic of the house. So here’s a look at some of what happened last week or so-

Love having a front porch….so southern with a my own twist:)

Ahhhh, walking in, it still has that unmistakable “new house” smell and just feels so good walking in

We got in  our pretty end tables from Chaddock Furniture (matches coffee table)

Still deciding on wallpapers for this powder room

Added blinds to the study/office. this is where I do my work when I am there:)

Added blinds to this living/lounge area in the guest suite above garage

Added this detail to all bathroom vanities and so happy I did, it really does add a lot to the overall look

Love this powder room in the cherry blossom grass cloth and finally had a place to use my navy bamboo lantern!

Really love my bedroom, it has such a beautiful view and is just such an ethereal space

Monogrammed bedding is a must! Now looking for a printed small accent pillow which I will also use on an upholstered chair for this room

This space feels like  walking into a white fluffy cloud- now trying to find a bench for end of bed and a comfy chair and ottoman for near window

It feels so airy and lofty, love the ceiling detail and realty like having a fan!

Adore my master carpet too, from Stanton

The back stair/mudroom which needs a chest or console so we can finally hang this pretty mirror I got from Decor Market a few months ago

Bike riding is a part of the lifestyle in PB and I love it!

Really love my back kitchen- done in a soft blue lacquer just love this space. Decided  on an all white display for the far wall of glass cabinets. Still have plenty more to get but this is a start.

Still smitten with my gorgeous metal hood!

I love the glow of the house at twilight and at night with just the lamps and sconces on, feels so welcoming and pretty

This view just never gets old:)

So pretty! You definitely need a ceiling fan here in the south. Where did you purchase your bed? I love the design of the headboard. Thanks

Walking through this post and seeing PB through your eyes brought down my BP by about 20 points – honest! This was better than medicine! I thank you so much for sharing! Loving the blinds – they look like the most natural and appropriate possible choice. The work desk tucked into that space behind the sofa was such a surprise. That is a perfect place and so efficient. AND … that back kitchen “dusty” blue lacquer is stunning but so subtle! I’m glad you got the break and are sharing your Bluff Diaries. Appreciate it.

Who manufactured the sectional in the living room guest area over the garage. Very handsome.

Your homes are beautiful. Love the details. Where did you get your bedding in the BP home?

Love your PB home!
Who makes the beautiful blue and white cherry blossom grass cloth wallpaper used in one of your bathrooms?

Tina if you had to choose to live in one of your houses and sell the other…..which one would you choose? Your homes are so different in size and design. I was just wondering which home you would choose?

Wondering where you got your beautiful master bedroom bedding? Love the pretty blue and white.

Simply elegant, relaxing and beautiful! Where did you purchase the bedding for your master bedroom?

Good Morning! Would you mind sharing the source/info on the flooring in your mudroom? Thank you so much!

Love this site, because I love blue and white. My mother decorated my bedroom in blue and white when I was ten. I’ve been smitten since then. Blue and white love~❤️

Would you please share the source for your exterior shutters? Are those bi-fold on the front porch?

Just gorgeous! Everything I love in a home. Lots of light, clean and airy, lots of open space, comfortable and welcoming — and, my dream — on water!
